Your headshot
isn't doing you
any favors.

You know you should update it. You think about it every time you visit your LinkedIn profile or send someone to your website. But somehow the right moment never comes.

  • Years out of date, it simply doesn't look like you anymore
  • Stiff or awkward, not really capturing your personality
  • A casual photo that doesn't match your professional level
  • Something you quietly apologize for when you share it

The problem isn't how you look. It's that most headshots are taken without real direction, thoughtful lighting, or a process designed to help you feel at ease. That's exactly what the Headshot Marathon is designed to fix.

Meet the Studio

Led by Emily Cummings.
15 years of helping people
feel at ease on camera.

Headshots can feel surprisingly vulnerable, because they're not just photos. They're how you introduce yourself to clients, colleagues, and opportunities before you ever say a word.

Most people arrive a little nervous. That's completely normal. Over hundreds of sessions, our team has learned that the right direction, lighting, and pace make all the difference. By the time you're selecting your images, most clients are surprised by how much they love what they see.

Questions

Frequently asked

What if I'm not photogenic?

Almost everyone says this before their session, and almost no one says it after. You're guided through every expression and pose in real time, so you always know how you're coming across. The challenge for most clients ends up being choosing between too many good options.

Who takes the photos?

Sessions are photographed by a member of our team, led by Emily Cummings. Every session follows the same studio lighting, direction, and retouching standards, so the experience and the quality are consistent no matter who is behind the camera. If you'd like to request Emily specifically, just ask.

How many outfits can I bring?

Up to 4 outfit changes are included. Our outfit and prep guide will help you choose pieces that photograph well and feel like you. Two retouched images are included, and many clients add more so they have a favorite from each look.

How long does the session take?

Plan for about an hour in the studio. That includes your makeup touch-up, a 30-minute guided shoot, and time afterward to choose your favorites.

Where is the Naperville studio?

Studio 25 Naperville is at 25 W. Jefferson Ave in downtown Naperville, with street parking out front, lots behind the building, and a garage nearby. Full arrival details come with your booking confirmation.

Do you have a Chicago studio too?

Yes. Our team also photographs headshots at our Streeterville studio in downtown Chicago. You can see the Chicago headshot page here.

What if I want more than 2 images?

That happens a lot. Additional images are $250 each, or you can purchase 4 images for the price of 3 if you decide on the day of your session. You select exactly which images you want edited. Nothing is saved afterward, so your selections are final.

What if I need a different day or something more custom?

Reach out and we'll look at other options together. The same goes if you're looking for a branding session, lifestyle photos, or a team shoot.
